Well yesterday i decided to give my Ibiza the first proper clean its had for a long time it was fully cleaned using Snow foam dried off and waxed using Megs quick wax.

I spent a good 5-6 hours doing it and due to it being a black car i got all the wax off that i could see so there was no white marks left etc.

Gone out to it this morning and because its been sat in the sun there is patches of wax still left on that are rock solid and wont come off with a terry cloth and now the car looks in a right state.

To save time in the future im going to invest in a polisher as ive used them before and it makes the job alot easier and whips the wax straight off with no effort.

Can someone reccomend a good polisher for a decent price for a begginer please. Also i dont have ebay so will need to be off a website thanks guys

A machine polisher is more to apply polish rather take it off isnt it?

Little tip, a bit of quick detailer helps remove excess wax I've found

Well you get better results with one all round. And I thought you buff it off with one too? Bit quicker? Along as its on a low speed to reduce friction I can't see why he cant?

The argument goes if you need an orbital one or not, the orbital ones are safer but you can't get the best results from them as they don't work the panel as hard as rotary, but you run the risk of burning the print work.

Did you say you spent 5-6 hours snow foaming a car then waxing it?
